I pay SCE $0.21/kWh for my power. Does the car give any info that I can use to calculate cost per mile with this info?

With a 100kW hour battery that is 100x$0.21 or $21 for a full charge. If you drive 210 miles then that is $21/210 or $0.10 per mile.I pay SCE $0.21/kWh for my power. Does the car give any info that I can use to calculate cost per mile with this info?
Yes, it tells you how many watt-hours per mile you're getting (Wh/mile). Unfortunately, I don't think Tesla takes into account charging losses (most automakers don't) as charging isn't 100% efficient. Not all the energy coming out of the "wall" makes it into the battery and even some of that is lost as waste heat.I pay SCE $0.21/kWh for my power.

Since you are in Southern California, a decent rule of thumb for typical situations is to multiply that number by 1.25, (add 25%) to account for charging and vampire losses.
Yes, because there is an energy baseline needed to run the car’s computers, charging circuitry losses (AC->DC conversion), and possibly heat the battery if it’s cold enough. That’s generally accepted to be somewhere around 300 watts if the battery heater isn’t running - which is about 20% of the power available on a level 1 charger at 1.44kw.Does the charging loss vary if you're using Level 1 or Level 2 chargers? I'm using a trial of TeslaFi and it reports 80% efficiency in charging, but I'm only using a Level 1 charger at home.

For the guy/gal that wants an easier setup experience, I gotta give the nod to Stats. While I have had a few buggy issues with Stats, the developer is quick to both answer questions and crunch bugs.Regarding TeslaFi, make sure you fully understand and dig into what it is doing to arrive at its numbers.
